An addition
It has come to my attention that I forgot to say what I am doing net year (thanks mom). So, I was fortunate enough to get a job teaching 7th and 8th grade social studies at Pioneer Preparatory Academy. I am so excited about the school, the administration seem awesome, and there is totally potential for upward growth!!!
I am so excited to get to merge my love of middle-school and history to one job!!!! Whooooo!!
So no, I'm not playing soccer for a career next year- unfortunately :)

5 Reasons it Should Be Summer
1) it has already hit over 100 degrees here down in the hot box of Arizona. No more beautiful spring temperatures, I'm getting ready to hunker down for the summer n start saving for my $300 electric AC bill.
2) I have recently resigned from my job at TFA and am done June 15th. If you're interested in what I will be doing for a living, please keep reading. Anyhow, June 15th needs to come soon as my motivation is lacking Big Time!
3) I'm ready for summer outdoor soccer. My Spring season ended over a month ago and I'm really ready to start playing at the end of the month.
4) Come May 15th I'll be moving into a new place- good riddance (my old landlord was not the best of people).
5) I just started playing semi-pro arena soccer and our season starts in about a month. Yes, I will be playing semi-pro soccer after a 4 year hiatus from competitive soccer. We'll see how it goes.

Turning over (another) new leaf!!
Okay, I realized I said that after my last post I was going to write more... But I'm really going to try this time.
Right now I am on an airplane traveling I Memphis for work. This is occurin the day after Megan an I got back from our week long vacation in Florida and the Bahamas!!!
Our first two days of vacation we spent in Fort Lauterdale lounging on the beach, reading and taking some time for relaxing.
Then, after two nights there we drove I the port of Palm Beach where we boarded our two day cruise to the bahamas! Not only were we going to the Bahamas but we had the suite room on the cruise!! We spent the morning playing on the beach of Grand Bahamas island, did a banana boat tour o see the pirate ship from Pirates of the Caribbean and tour around the island. The afternoon was spent walking around the town and enjoying food. We boarded the ship and headed back to Florida.
The next two days were a whirlwind of Universal and Disney. We spent the afternoon ad evening of our first day in Orlando experiencing Universal Studios going on all the rides and even seeing Harry Potter World- which was awesome. We even went in some water rides and for soaking wet. There was also a Dr. Seuss area that contained Moose and Goose Juice (that pic is for you dad and de. Seuss sleep book).
After our fun day at universal we spent the next fun day at the four Disney parks. We started our day at animal kingdom and he safari ride, and ten went to a fun Mt. Everest roller coaster. We then went to Hollywood Studios where we had the best luck ever. We got two fast passes for the Tower of Terror and a super awesome Aerosmith roller coaster. The rest of our day was spent at Magic Kingdom with a brief stop at Epcot. It was a completely exhausting day but super super fun!!!
We returned home and now I'm off again traveling this time for work. I will be spending a week in Memphis and the Mississippi Delta learning about how to be a better leader. Hope all is well with everyone and you're doing better in your bracket than I am (even though I'm in first place for my work one).
